Justin Lofton Grabs Second Straight ARCA Re/Max Pole

Eddie Sharpe Racing's Justin Lofton won his second straight Menards Pole Award for the running of the ARCA Re/Max Kentuckian Dealers 200 presented by Federated Car Care on Sunday.

Lofton, who was also the pole winner for the Daytona ARCA race to start the season, mastered the Salem, IN, short track with a time of 16.935 seconds and 117.981 MPH.

"I want to thank Eddie Sharp, Mark Rette and the entire No. 6 team for all their hard work," said Lofton. "It's their pole award, not mine. Hopefully the rain will hold off and we can bring home another trophy tomorrow.

"I'm really excited to have two poles in a row. It shows what the right people in the right organization are capable of. I am looking forward to the 2009 season and many more Menard Ansell Pole Awards."
